Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com February 23, a large number of merge requests were received to improve the performance of the Linux network during the Linux 6.3 merge window. In these requests, in addition to providing BIG TCP support for IPv4 (resulting in higher throughput and lower latency), "ath12k" driver support has been added for Qualcomm Wi-Fi7 hardware.

The ath12k driver is a new driver for Linux 6.3 and has been under development for the past few months. The ath12k driver will initially support Qualcomm's QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices.

WCN7850 PCI, a member of the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Series, is used in WiFi 7 certified hardware and can provide speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps. With the release of the new chipset, the driver will continue to receive more Qualcomm WiFi 7 hardware support.

CTOnews.com learned from the report that Ath12k originated from a branch of ath11k and was specifically optimized for Wi-Fi 7 drivers.

The Linux kernel team is still optimizing Wi-Fi 7, and the ath12k driver is currently running in 802.11ax mode and previous mode, and is currently developing WiFi 7 extremely High Throughput (EHT) mode under 802.11be.
